The periodicals demonstrate the emergence of professionalism in the various areas of human endeavour. Professional societies
were formed to regulate each discipline and each had its own journal or journals. The growth of professionalism also dictated
a rapid pace of change in Victorian society, and change, in turn, demanded closer and more accurate communication of new ideas
through periodical literature

"This biography of British suffragist Florence Fenwick Miller chronicles her progression from an unhappy girlhood to a frustrated
adolescence; her awakening to the plight of women; and later the flowering of her talents as a public speaker and journalist,
activities in which she proved especially gifted." "Author, journalist, editor, platform speaker, three-term London School
Board member, and ardent feminist, Florence Fenwick Miller - through pluck, determination and hard work - became one of the
best-known women in nineteenth-century London and in the world. Rosemary Van Arsdel here details the skirmishes Miller fought
along the way, as well as more than one scandal she provoked, as a result of her refusal to abandon her principles." "Van
Arsdel also recounts how Miller, as delegate to the Woman's Congress of the Chicago World's Fair (1893), gained the admiration
and respect of American suffrage leaders such as Susan B. Anthony, and was lionized by the American press; how as editor of
the Woman's Signal she led the fight for suffrage for all women; and how her worldwide reputation as a leader was cemented
at the first International Women's Suffrage conference in Washington DC in 1902, when she was elected treasurer."--BOOK JACKET
